Dr. Justus Pienaar
BChD, MBChB, MDS(OMS), Cert Skin Cancer Med & Surg
Dr Justus Pienaar graduated as a Dentist from the University of Pretoria in South Africa in 1999. Moving to New Zealand shortly after, Justus completed medical training at the University of Otago, and followed this study with a Masters Degree with distinction in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Otago School of Dentistry. Along with extensive experience in oral surgery, Justus has a special interest in skin cancer surgery.
Justus and his family moved to Central Queensland in 2015, establishing Central Queensland Oral Surgery shortly thereafter. Residing in Yeppoon, the Pienaars love spending time on the beach, plus exploring the great outdoors. Justus loves the active lifestyle, with 4WDing, water sports, running and mixed martial arts all on the menu for an ideal weekend. You also might catch him singing along to a tune in the dental surgery – just don’t join in while he’s working on your mouth!
Dr Adrian Best
BDSc, MBChB, BTh, MDS(OMS), FRACDS(GDP)
Dr Adrian Best graduated from the University of Western Australia in 1997 with a Bachelor of Dentistry. After several years working as a general dentist, he went on to complete a double-degree Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery, and then a Masters Degree with distinction in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery from the University of Otago, New Zealand. Adrian also holds a fellowship from the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons.
Outside the office, you’d find Adrian with his family, watching movies (Star Wars in particular!), playing sports, or reading a great book.
